Um.

It was your job to inform the public of all known risks, the known unknowns, and the possibility of unknown unknowns.

It was also your job to guide doctors… so they didn’t have to go around the “it’s all in your head” houses…

We don’t normally do med-ed via the BBC (thank goodness).
A - "I think you imply a greater degree of certainty than my note says - this is a personal view"
"as we went along we understood better"
"Long Covid in children was discussed in the media"
"I didn't think there was a situation where nobody knew about it & I needed to tell people"

The bar isn’t what happened in the dark recesses of history.

It’s “what could the optimal outcome have been”?
Sir Chris Whitty "fortunately in the case of Covid, although there were tragically some deaths and certainly severe & in due course some long term cases, Covid affected children much less than many other pandemic diseases historically & in the future so that side wasn't there"

Um.

New virus.

Last similar virus caused long term health issues.

Other coronaviruses, especially in animals, set up long term infections… with complications…

We could have taken a wild guess that disease might be bad.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

In 1925, Congress felt it needed to pass a joint resolution to authorize Grace Coolidge to accept gifts of furniture
The White House keeps making a big deal of the fact that the ballroom is privately funded but that’s one of the worst things about it.

These people and companies are buying influence. None of this is okay.

This is very sad news. Eugene was a Charlottesville icon. Civil rights organizer. (He led he fight to desegregate the schools.) Affordable-housing innovator. Exceedingly generous to all with his time and, to the poor, his money. Successful businessman. A kind, loving man. We'll miss him terribly.
Eugene Williams, the local civil rights leader and affordable housing advocate, has died at 97. One of the last cover stories in The Hook was about Eugene Williams and his experience growing up in Jim Crow Charlottesville.

I guess I just feel like it should be a bigger deal that Penske Media owns the Golden Globes and ALSO Rolling Stone, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Indiewire, GoldDerby, and Deadline, plus 20% of Vox Media
Scoop: Jay Penske, who owns the Golden Globes, is pitching far-right podcasters with a proposal that they spend upwards of $75,000 to boost their chances of winning this year's inaugural podcasting award.

Yes, there is a new study. Several, I think, that have now found long covid surpasses asthma as the most common chronic illness in children.

But remember — it was “mild for children” 🙃

Just think about it.

Seriously.

They told you that covid infection would not harm children, and now long covid is the *most common chronic illness in children*.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

So, per reporting from Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng, in today’s new ‘First Draft’ newsletter, Trump tried to get a newly-divorced Russ Vought, Project 2025 architect & now budget chief, laid at Mar-a-Lago.

The details are, ahem, as crude as you’d expect from Trump.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.
